Monday Mornings

The weekend zipped by for me, and it’s already Monday again. The office I work at during the week is moving today, so I know I’ll be pretty busy with that and adjusting to the new location.

Stripes & denim at the Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa

It’s matsuri (festival) season again, and I was so excited to go to the Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa for the 2nd year in a row with my friend Alisa. The weather was perfect, a great start to the weekend.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to help translate a contract from English to Japanese for a famous Japanese artist. I thought it would be a fairly easy task, but boy, was I wrong. It took hours to … Continue Reading
